Knicks @ Suns Friday game thread 3-4-2022

I just hope KAT tries to get out and we can do a sign and trade

 

[AzStevenCal]

I don't think he is. Someone will pay him

Yep, someone will. But it's nights like this where I start hoping it won't be us.

 

[Proximo]

If Ayton plays like this the rest of the season and playoffs do a sign and trade.

He’s not going too.

remember he was really good almost every playoff game. That’s what really matters.

 

[Chaplin]

If Ayton plays like this the rest of the season and playoffs do a sign and trade.

We also have no centers besides Ayton and Dario signed beyond this season. So keep that in mind.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Then do a sign and trade if he continues this level of effort.

Is this Borg?

 

[Muggz]

Wrong about the score but good lord did Cam show up!

Doing it against Randel who has like 100 lbs on him is just gravy.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Then do a sign and trade if he continues this level of effort.

But he won't continue this level of effort which puts us in a tough position. We know he's absolutely worth the max when he wants to play but he has too many of these nights where he gets dominated by a far weaker player.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

He was in most of the fourth! Only reason I can think of is to counter Robinson. But I think McGee could have done better because Robinson schooled Ayton all night.

Totally agree

 

[Mainstreet]

He’s not going too.

remember he was really good almost every playoff game. That’s what really matters.

I can remember such a lack of energy from Ayton for a long time.

Borg.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

My buddy in LA who rarely watches basketball is now a Cam Johnson fan.

"That kid has some stones!!"

 

[Mainstreet]

We also have no centers besides Ayton and Dario signed beyond this season. So keep that in mind.

We had a FC of the future and traded him away.

 

[Mainstreet]

But he won't continue this level of effort which puts us in a tough position. We know he's absolutely worth the max when he wants to play but he has too many of these nights where he gets dominated by a far weaker player.

Tonight's effort was a new low from my perspective. I'm generally very tolerant when it comes to Ayton but no excuse tonight.

 

[Muggz]

Yeah yeah DA bla bla bla.

Cameron Jordan Johnson just had the game of his life can we celebrate a lil?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I can remember such a lack of energy from Ayton for a long time.

Really? He hasn’t snagged 9 rebounds in the last 5 games. And only 3 double digit rebound games in his last 14. He’s approaching amare rebounding lameness.

Whoops, over that span he worse than amare rebounding lameness averaging 8.2/game. Yuck.

And before we think he’s been blowing up offensively, he’s averaged 15.4 pts/game over that span.

 

[Proximo]

I can remember such a lack of energy from Ayton for a long time.

I can, look at his game logs, he has had 3 or 4 games like this this season.

but in those same game logs look how many games he plays well.

I get the frustration, but he is clearly worth resigning even for the max.

 

[Muggz]

I swear I get wood when that kid shoots.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Awesom w by suns looked bllek eatly

Bridges and Payne were huge on that final play. Props to Payne bouncing back from like 5 straight terrible possessions.

The Suns have to sign Ayton. They can't let him walk for nothing.

Whether they should sign and keep him is something that will play out during the rest of the season and the playoffs.

 

[Evil Ash]

I haven’t had an end of game response like that since the Hopkins TD on the Hail Murray. I just shot off the couch and started wandering around the house laughing.

Same.

Loved when bridges was on the post-game he said he knew it was going the second Cam got the ball. Watched the highlight on ESPN and he wasn't kidding. He was celebrating the second cam got the ball. Unreal

 

[Mainstreet]

So smart of Cam Johnson to be the trailer for the winning shot.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yeah yeah DA bla bla bla.

Cameron Jordan Johnson just had the game of his life can we celebrate a lil?

He got his chance to shine tonight and he just blew it up. And that was with the refs allowing randle to beat him up for the first half of the game (the blatant shoulders are BS).

 

[SirStefan32]

Cam is like, "No Book, no CP3, no problem!" What an incredible game by Cam. Holy crap, that was amazing!
